Tasty Tuesday: Quinoa Stuffed Acorn Squash

I created this recipe for one of my Outside the Box clients and it was delicious: Quinoa Stuffed Acorn Squash Rings. It has all the nutrition that I wanted and great flavor! It’s a great way to include whole foods and if you really wanted you could serve it as a side with grilled chicken. If you try it post here and let me know how you liked it! (if you don’t like it…keep it to yourself. It’s probably recipe user failure anyway! lol)

Ingredients:

2 acorn squash

3-4 cups cooked quinoa

1 green apple, finely chopperd

1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped

1/2-1 cup dried cranberries
